Debra Messing in LORAC_Emmys 2009

Is it just me or does Hollywood look better and better at each red carpet?  I didn’t watch the Emmy’s live last Sunday (I heart football that much) but that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to learn all the tips and tricks from the makeup artists behind the gorgeous looks.

LORAC Red Carpet Palette

Carol Shaw, celebrity makeup artist and founder of LORAC Cosmetics, created a smokey eye paired with an ultra nude lip look for Debra Messing with new items from her fall collection – the Red Carpet Reveal Eye & Cheek Palette ($35 US) and Breakthrough Performance Lipstick ($22 US).

Tarte says, “Green is the new Black!”

Tarte Green Products

Runway looks are crazy and fun, but ,most are way too exaggerated for everyday life. How would I transform the above look into something much more simple and everyday?  For me, one eyeshadow and one eyeliner is all that I need to convey a “green with envy” look.

But not just any shade of green will do, your eyelids must be smoldering with rich, earthy, and deep greens!

Tarte Eyeshadow in Peyton Place ($14 US) and Tarte Emphaseyes High Definition Eye Pencil in Green ($18 US) are the perfect products to help you stay trend-worthy while keeping it toned down for day to day.

Heading to The Warehouse Sale

We heard about this on the radio today and are on our way over to The Double Tree Hotel in Orange, CA right now to check it out.

Who doesn’t love a clearance sale where you can get a pair of designer jeans for $45 each.  Or better yet, 10 jeans for $250 bucks?!

It looks like this blowout sale will be hitting a city near you within the next few months – Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, San Diego, and more!  Check out The Warehouse Sale online to see where the next one will be.

Until then, I’m off to shop!!

Beauty Smackdown: Q-Tips vs. Generic Cotton Swabs

QTips v Generic

Quality vs quantity; it’s an age old question. I always think about this before making a purchase.

For example, those cheap, cute, and colorful Forever21 tees that are $4? I choose quantity. Eyelash curlers? I choose quality with Shu Uemura.

Let’s think about Q-Tips vs. cotton swabs. Is it worth it to pay more for the Q-Tip name brand?
